Question 5 • Language Arts 7 A (M12 25/26 S1)

Which sentence shows the best placement for the modifier “that was on sale”?

Answer
A
Sheila bought soap at the farmer’s market that was on sale.
B
Sheila that was on sale bought soap at the farmer’s market.
C
Sheila bought that was on sale soap at the farmer’s market.
D
Sheila bought soap that was on sale at the farmer’s market.

Explanation

The phrase “that was on sale” describes the soap, so it should appear immediately after “soap.” In “Sheila bought soap that was on sale at the farmer’s market,” the modifier is placed next to the word it describes. The other choices place it next to or within wording that could make it describe Sheila or the farmer’s market instead.
